Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Will jet washing damage my patio?

Not if the pressure and nozzle suit the surface. Soft stone needs a gentler clean.

How long does it stay clean?

Usually a year or more, longer with a treatment and in sunnier spots.

Do you do block paving drives?

Yes, with the sand re-brushed into the joints afterwards.

Is it messy?

Some spray is unavoidable. We cover nearby windows and doors and clean up after.

How often should I have it done?

Once a year keeps most patios clean and safe.

Can you clean a wooden deck too?

Yes, with lower pressure so the timber is not damaged. A deck treatment afterwards helps it last.

How long does jet washing take?

A typical patio and path takes half a day to a day. A block paving drive takes longer because the joints are re-sanded. The surface needs a dry day afterwards for the joints to settle.

What affects the cost of jet washing?

The area, how dirty it is, the type of stone and whether the joints need refilling. Sandstone needs gentler care and more time. A photo of the patio and paths is enough to quote.

Patios in Kirkby-in-Ashfield go green and slippery over a wet winter, and weeds push up through the joints every spring. Jet washing lifts the moss, algae and dirt off the slabs. It also blasts out the jointing between them. So a proper job refills the joints afterwards.

The pressure and angle are set for the surface. Sandstone, concrete slabs and block paving each take a different approach, and too much pressure can scar a soft stone.

Many Kirkby-in-Ashfield gardens have concrete slab patios from the 1970s and 1980s, which clean up well. The cost depends on the area, how dirty it is, and whether the joints need refilling. A photo of the patio and paths is enough to price it.

Block paving drives in Kirkby-in-Ashfield get the same treatment, with fresh kiln-dried sand brushed back into the joints afterwards.

01

Moss and algae removed

Slabs, paths and steps cleaned back so they are no longer slippery.

02

Pressure set for the stone

Softer pressure on sandstone and older slabs so the surface is not damaged.

03

Joints refilled

Sand or jointing compound brushed back in so weeds have less room.

04

Treated afterwards

An optional treatment to slow the green coming back.

05

Walls and steps

Garden walls and steps cleaned at the same time.

06

Drains kept clear

Gullies and drains kept clear of the debris washed off.

07

Getting a quick price

A photo of the patio and the paths, and a rough size. Tell us what the surface is, such as concrete slabs, sandstone or block paving. Say if there are steps or walls you want done as well.

08

How we work

Loose weeds and debris are brushed off first. The jet goes over the surface in strips so no stripes show. The joints are refilled and the area rinsed. A treatment, if you want one, goes on once it is dry.
